We’re looking for an organised, proactive and experienced Salesforce Administrator to join our Development Team, supporting the systems that underpin our charitable work
At the Andrew Simpson Foundation, we create life-changing journeys on the water: shaping young lives, strengthening communities and transforming futures.
We believe that every young person should have access to the life-changing benefits of being on the water. From building self-belief to unlocking potential, we use sailing and watersports as a powerful tool for education, wellbeing and community connection. Everything we do is shaped by four core pillars of impact:
- Enabling active participation – Helping more people get active through sailing and watersports, supporting wellbeing and making regular participation part of everyday life.
- Developing skills & personal pathways – Helping people build confidence, gain skills and find opportunities in education, employment, volunteering and sport.
- Building connected communities – Bringing people together, supporting families and creating places where everyone feels welcome.
- Championing environmental engagement – Helping people learn about our coasts and waterways, take part in conservation and develop skills to care for their future.
Our success is built on the dedication and passion of our team. We foster a culture of innovation and collaboration, where every team member plays a role in making a lasting impact.
About the role
You’ll take day-to-day responsibility for our Salesforce environment, ensuring it is well managed, secure, reliable and continues to develop in response to the needs of the organisation.
Salesforce supports our participant and programme data, partnerships, fundraising, reporting and impact. As our primary administrator, you’ll work with colleagues across the Foundation to understand requirements, improve processes, maintain data quality and support users.
Your responsibilities will include managing user access and permissions, configuring objects, fields and flows, developing reports, managing data and coordinating testing and releases. You’ll also provide user support and training, maintain documentation and administer third-party apps.
Our environment uses the Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP), supporting approximately 50 active users and 10,000 records and contacts. Key integrations and tools include Zapier, FormAssembly, Stripe and Xero.
Reporting to our Salesforce & Web Integration Developer, you’ll work closely together on more complex development, integrations and future system improvements.
About you
You’ll be a Salesforce Certified Administrator with two to three years’ experience in Salesforce administration or a closely related role. You’ll bring practical experience administering a live Salesforce environment, with clear examples of systems or processes you’ve built, changed or improved. We’re looking for someone with:
- Strong working knowledge of Salesforce configuration tools, particularly Flow, and the judgement to recognise when development support is needed.
- Experience managing data at volume, using Data Loader or comparable tools.
- The ability to gather requirements from non-technical colleagues and explain technical concepts clearly.
- A methodical approach to maintaining data quality, documenting changes and supporting systems over time.
Experience with NPSP, fundraising, donor management or programme delivery workflows would be an advantage. Advanced Administrator certification, familiarity with Nonprofit Cloud or migration from NPSP, and working knowledge of SOQL, Apex triggers or Lightning components are also desirable.
